Editor:

For the past few years, our seventh-eighth-grade class has gone out into the community to intern with a variety of businesses for a three-day period of time. This experience has taught our students many things, including: what it takes to be involved in their community, what it takes to get and keep a job, plus what it will take to reach their career goals.

We would like to thank the following businesses that sponsored a student this year: Laurel Ridge Community Church, Straw Hat Pizza, Kumon Center, Clawson Construction, Antioch Paintball Park, De Anza Gardens, Best Buy, Bio Zone, Clayton Fire Department, American Shaolin Kenpo, Sutter Delta, Dr. Frigard, Oakland Fire Station 24, Antioch Fire Station 81, Antioch Plumbing, Pet Frolic Inn, The Krey Academy, Museum of Ancient Life, First American Title, Turner Elementary, Bethel Island Community Church, Diablo View Florist, Bright Star Christian Child Center, John Muir Elementary, and Sutter East Bay.
